Product Description
The Nordic Pure MERV 12 anti-allergen pleated air filter is the ideal filter to reduce airborne contaminants in your home or business. With each pass through your MERV 12 anti-allergen pleated air filter, the air in your environment improves. This electrostatic air filter attracts and captures airborne dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, smog, dust mite debris, and baking flour. The MERV 12 anti-allergen pleated air filter is made of synthetic material that will not support the growth of mold and bacteria. Along with the reduction of dust on surfaces, this MERV 12 anti-allergen pleated air filter is a high efficiency filter that will attract and capture the small, allergy-aggravating micro-particles that can cause your family discomfort. The Nordic Pure anti-allergen pleated air filter has a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value(MERV) of 12 which means that it will collect more than 90% of 3.0-10.0 microns of contaminants, and up to 90% of particles 1.0-3.0 microns. Particles in indoor air are measured in microns, which are 1/1000 of a millimeter. A human hair is about 70 microns wide. The MERV 12 anti-allergen pleated air filter is comparable to a filter with a MPR rating of 1500-1900 and is a great start to creating a healthy environment. Nordic Pure air filters have an actual size that is a fraction of an inch smaller than the nominal size. With the 4” and 5” air filters there is a wide variance between the nominal size and actual size. Almost ALL filters have a different actual size than the nominal size printed on the filter so it is best if you measure your filter for the EXACT size and compare it to our "Actual Size. This is why we ask you to measure your filter so you aren't surprised if the filter doesn't fit! Our MERV 12 four or five inch air filter should be changed at least every 6 months depending on your environment. Changing your air filter at the recommended time will help maintain a healthy environment as well as keeping your air conditioning and heating systems running efficiently.

From the Manufacturer
Nordic Pure 20x25x5 MERV 12 Honeywell Replacement AC Furnace Air Filters: IMPORTANT NOTE: Almost ALL filters are a fraction of an inch smaller than the nominal size printed on the filter. It is best if you measure your filter for the EXACT size and compare it to our "Actual Size" listed above. With the 4-Inch and 5-Inch filters there are many different exact sizes for the different HVAC manufacturers. Because of this, your filter may say 20x25x4 on it but really be the same as our 20x25x5. This is why we ask you to measure your filter so you aren't surprised if the filter doesn't fit! You may also want to look at our Honeywell replacement 20x25x5 filter. Just check the "Actual Size" before ordering. Nordic Pure air filters are made out of an electro statically-charged synthetic material that draws airborne particulates to it like a magnet. Electrostatic filters help trap airborne particles to protect your family from allergy causing pollen, fine dust, smoke particles, airborne plant spores, bacteria, and some viruses. A MERV 121 Nordic Pure air filter captures airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns! Our air filters do not kill germs, however, the filter media does not permit the growth of bacteria or mold. As a result, it is not necessary to add any potentially irritating chemicals to the air filter to kill germs.

We had our furnace replaced last year and had a Lennox SLP98V 98% efficiency unit installed because it wasn't much more than the lower efficiency rated units. Wow, what a difference the furnace made in our monthly gas bills, they dropped by quite a bit which will more than make up the difference of saving money by getting a lower efficiency unit.
Enough about our furnace, this review is about the Air Filter. I looked up the price on the Lennox X6675 replacement filters and they linger around $100 each which I thought was a bit much. A quick search on Amazon showed these Nordic Pure filters at less than a 1/4 of the cost vs. the Lennox and they had good reviews so I thought I'd give them a try.
The first thing I noticed is that the original Lennox is a MERV 16 filter while these Nordic Pure filters are MERV 12. If you're not an HVAC guy, like me, then you would not have a clue what this meant, so a quick internet search showed me the difference between the different MERV ratings and this is what I found:
"Filters with a merv rating of 9 to 12 are used in commercial and industrial applications and will stop particles in the 1 to 3 micron range. These filters are a great choice for home owners who want the best dust control possible. When using filters with Merv 9 ratings and above it is important to clean or replace them when recommended by the manufacturer because they will have a negative effect on air flow when they become dirty. This can lead to performance problems and decreased operating efficiency. The most efficient filters have merv ratings of 13 to 16 and will stop particles as small as .3 microns. These filters are used in hospitals and other super clean environments."
Okay great, well my home is not a hospital nor a cleanroom environment so I think I'm going to be just fine with a MERV 12 filter :) The next thing I noticed is that not all 20x25x5 filters are the same size (surprise, surprise) and the ones I ordered from Amazon (which is the product I'm reviewing here) are a little bit bigger than the X6675 filter from Lennox. My front filter cover plate did not want to seat all the way until I kind of banged it in. So, if you have a Lennox furnace and you find these filters are a tad big, do a search on Amazon for X6675 and you'll find there is a Lennox version of this filter that is sized appropriately, or click the link here Nordic Pure 20x25x5L2M12-2 Lennox X6675 Replacement MERV 12 Pleated Furnace Air Filter, Box of 2. Yes, they are a little more expensive than these filters, but they will fit correctly, and remember, you're still saving almost $150 over buying two Lennox filters!
As to how the filter performs, well I just bought them so I cannot say, but I fully expect them to perform as well as any other 20x25x5 filter. I give these filters 4 stars because they do what they are supposed to do and at a much cheaper price than the alternative "name brand" filters.

I was very pleased with this filter and would purchase anytime over the recommended Bryant and 3M filters. The quality is just as good (if not better) and the price was lower.

This filter replaced a Honeywell OEM filter perfectly. It appears to be as good or better in quality and is built sturdier than the Honeywell.
